The Cover By Jason Sturgeon

Intro DGDG

D		          	      G
At the bottom of my dresser forgotten, put away,
D		      A
There laid momma's Bible, she gave me on my birthday.
D				   G
The cover of that old good book showing all its age 
D			       A
Just like me and my cover is worn, I've seen my better day.
D			      G
And I was still a young boy, I've seen trouble come along,
D			        A
Had a chip up on my shoulder, I still knew right from wrong
D			        G
I fought my way through high school and might have lost my way,
D			          A
Oh yes, I've done a lot of foolish things
		D
But still found time to read

Chorus: 
G		        D
Is the not the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
G		A			          D
A man that's worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light,
D			         G
I know that I'm a sinner, but there's a saint inside of me,
     D                                  A                   D
Yes I'm the pages not the cover if you could look inside you'd see.

DGDGDAD x2

D			G
Now its ten years later, and I've learned a thing or two,
D
And I keep my distance from those things,
  A
A troubled man would do 
D			   G
And I ask for forgiveness everyday from up above,
D		         A	                        D
I'm still trying not to hate, still learning how to love!

Chorus: 
Its the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
A man that's worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light
I know that I'm a sinner, but there's a saint inside of me,
Yes I'm the pages not the cover if you could look inside you'd see.
